Do you enjoy eating a traditional slice of fruit pie? If so, you’re going to love these Air Fryer Lemon Hand Pies that you can make with ease.

What Are Hand Pies?

Hand pies are a convenient dessert that you can fit in the palm of your hand. While traditional pies have the crust underneath, hand pies have rust on both the top and bottom with the fresh, warm filling in the middle. Some people call them pastelillos or empanadas, but you can also call them hand pies.

Can I use sugar-free lemon pie filling?

If you’d like to watch your sugar intake or even lower the number of calories in this recipe, you can use sugar-free lemon pie filling.

However, if you’re not concerned about sugar or calories, stick with the traditional can of lemon pie filling to enjoy the natural sweetness and flavor it provides.

Which icing should I use?

You can prepare homemade icing using milk, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract for something light, sweet, and perfect to pair with the Lemon Hand Pies. If not, consider using a vanilla icing that you can generously apply on top of your hand pies.

If you like the taste of chocolate combined with the flavor of the lemon filling, it’s fine to use some chocolate icing on your hand pies.
